On the other side of the mountain and on the other side of the sea

There is a group of Smurfs

They are lively and smart

They are naughty and sensitive

They live there freely

The big green forest

They are kind and brave and care about each other

The cute Smurfs

The cute Smurfs

They worked together and used their brains

to defeat Gargamel

They Sing and dance and be happy

On the other side of the mountain and the sea

There is a group of Smurfs

They are lively and smart

They are naughty and sensitive

They live freely there

The big green forest

They are kind and brave and care about each other

Ou Cute Smurfs

O Cute Smurfs

They worked together and used their brains

Fighted Gargamel

They sang and danced Happiness is more joy

Creative background

In 1983, Guangdong TV introduced the cartoon "The Smurfs", following the popular practice in Hong Kong at the time, and giving foreign cartoons a local theme Song. Guangdong TV specially invited the Soldier Song and Dance Troupe of the Political Department of the Guangzhou Military Region to compose this theme song. Qu Cong, then the regiment leader, and Zheng Qiufeng, the then deputy regiment leader, worked together. Qu Cong thought that the cartoon was made by Japanese, so he wrote a very Japanese lyrics, while Zheng Qiufeng composed a song with a strong Japanese style. After submitting the manuscript, they realized they had made a mistake. It only took them half a day to write another song, and they had "The Smurf Song."

In 1985, the song won the Silver Medal in the First National Children's Song Competition. In August 1986, the song won the Guangdong Provincial Children's Song Award for Excellence. In October 1986, the song won the Music Award of the Second Lu Xun Literature and Art Award.
